Slight fuel leak in wingfuel cell, told the XO it would quit leaking when it was empty. that did not go over very well, but the rest of the flight line crew thought it was funny.
Ha ha. All surgeons in training are reassured that ALL bleeding stops eventually.

One small correction no degree is needed to fly even commercially. I flew as PIC 30 years before I got my first college degree.

I woudn't know about U.P.S., the jokes were in the RAF in 1978, (the year I left).
I guess since you laughed at them 37 years ago, they weren't funny to you anymore. Do you think the RAF should be paid royalties? Were they plagiarized? Better report back to MI6.

I was an electronic tech on interceptors in the U.S. Air Force and worked Aircraft on the flightline for 6 years. I can relate to the above problems and solutions. However, the maintenance officer didn't take too kindly to smartars solutions written in the official aircraft forms.
Those officers are a real killjoy 'eh :-D

Hate to burst your bubble. UPS has had at least 1 fatal aviation accident in August 2013 when 1 of their planes crashed landing in Birmingham, AL. They still have a better safety record than all the other major airlines. Based on miles flown, they record is probably the best in the industry.
These jokes have been around for years originally attributed to military pilots. They're still very good.

These are pretty much the same as those "gripe sheet" jokes that were going around when I was a Navy flight engineer on P3's over 40 years ago.

There is one airline to my knowledge that has never had an accident and that is Quantas.

Actually it doesn't take a college degree to fly a plane... perhaps that's a company rule but it's not an FAA rule.

I was a Maintenance Officer Department Head when I left the USN in 1979 (also a pilot, also with several college degrees), and jokes similar to those were just as funny then as they are now. Being in a very dangerous business needs humor to keep the depression away!
Does anybody other than me remember the famous Falcon codes? E.g., Falcon 101 translated to "Can you believe that falcon Air Boss thinking he can recover everybody on their first pass?" Etc.

A new authority "The Killjoy Police". Yes, these were very funny. I guess if you don't understand them, then they aren't funny.

The biggest problem we had (C-141 aircrews) was being able to communicate with our maintenance types on an even level. In the early '70's the plane was still fairly new and so were the people who operated it and maintained it. We knew what we were doing, and how to operate the airplane, but the language became a barrier. We would sit around with the maintenance guys and discuss what was going on, how loud, how fast, etc. After we could communicate WHAT was wrong, we had to figure out how to write it in the log books so everybody else could understand. For such a sophisticated aircraft we did a lot of shade-tree work on it. Gallows humor seemed to prevail. We all "carried" a plane more often than we admit. Lordy, did we have fun!!!

Such stories not restricted to Aviation...
Computer user called Tech Support to schedule repair for the "COFFEE CUP" holder on his two month old computer.
He had broken the tray off his CD/DVD burner.

I once had to go see the commander after signing off a log book entry "Entered in Ignorance. See deferred maintenance log". CW4's are not God, but its rumored they have coffee with him once a month. He did not find it amusing at all.
